Just got my Alpha Primes
At first it sounded a little disappointing to my ears since it sounded a bit muffled.. But then I removed the dots and WOW...
First thing I noticed are the instrument separation on these... Wow just amazing, haven't heard instrument separation this good since the HD 600.
Haven't used any disc either.. Not sure if I should since they just sound AMAZING right now.
The detail and clarity on these are just amazing for a closed headphone.
I've owned the MDP and it doesn't even come close to these.. It's not sibilant at all either. Just tuned to perfection to my ears.
I hope i'm not overhyping my impressions right now since I just got these. But 5 years into this hobby, it feels like these are the end game headphones that i've been looking for. I use to think the 400i was one of the best sounding headphones i've ever owned.. but I think these top the 400i, even though its not fair since it's a closed vs open headphone contest.
Though one thing lacking is the bass, but that's to be expected and I don't mind it at all since I prefer clarity over bass.
A big thank you to everyone, especially
@Villy
Really positive impressions for the last hour i've been using them. It would be unfair for me to make a judgement so I'll listen to them closely over the weekend and i'll let you guys know what I think
. Though on first impressions, it sounds exactly like how the reviews on Head-fi described them(thank you to the reviewers including Villy)!
Glad i listened to Head-fi instead of reddit. People were suggesting I not get the AP but I listened to Head-fi instead and now ended up a Happy man
